Perhaps you just want to set input type="hidden"? Of course, someone viewing source can still find it...

laserlight,

yes, it works... thank you very much... 🙂

how to make it hidden from viewing from source...

You can't. If it's in the page then the user can see it.

You can "hide" code using ajax. Look here: http://geobg.info/web/index.php?id=39

Select artist from list. Open code and find this:

There is no code, but there is artist info on page.

You just need to be a little smarter in seeing 😉

The only way to "hide" something from the end user is to never send it to them in the first place.

Nothing hidden there at all...

<table border="1" width="100%">
<tr>
	<td bgcolor="red" width="33%">RED BOX</td>
	<td bgcolor="yellow" width="33%">YELLOW BOX</td>
	<td bgcolor="green" width="33%">GREEN BOX</td>
</tr>
<tr>
	<td><input type="text" name="text" value="This is input ..."></td>
	<td><input type="hidden" name="hidden" value="This is hiden ...">&nbsp;</td>
	<td><input type="hidden" name="random" value="Random num : 5439">&nbsp;</td>
</tr>
<tr>
	<td>&nbsp;</td>
	<td align="center"><img src="flower.gif" width="100" height="100"></td>
	<td>&nbsp;</td>
</tr>
</table>

There is hidden values. Press "SEND" to show all values.<br>
<input type="submit" name="send" value="SEND">

</center>

Using input type hidden to hide something from the user is like saying you'll keep a secret but then telling everyone and asking them to keep it quiet. The best way to keep a secret is not to tell anyone.

Actually, I'd take that analogy a bit further... it's like asking the browser to keep it a secret from the user and to please repeat it back to you unchanged when the form is submitted. (In reality, neither condition is guaranteed - hidden form fields can not only be viewed by the user, but they can also be modified before the form is submitted.)

EDIT: Also note that using cookies is no different - all of the above still applies.

Hi all, Thank you for your help...🙂

Maybe you should use PHP session data? Then all the user can "see" is a session cookie with an arbitrary ID, not any of the actual data you save in $_SESSION.
